picked up the "H" version of the i3 NUC (http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/n...0wykh.html) and its a beast.
Stuck a 60gig msata drive and a 1tb 2.5" drive and it works like a dream. installed windows 8.1 (have some windows only programs and configurations i needed) but booting straight into XBMC via shell replacement, about 5 seconds on cold boot to xbmc logo, 2 more seconds to get it started and we are in. super quiet, super quick.
my library didn't transfer over well so i lost half of my watched flags on tv episodes and movies, but having it locally sure beats the SMB config i was using on my ATV2 before.
